Good: Professional mini-mini laptop look c/w 3g video calls
Bad: Htc taken away mini joystick, ok & windows start button
Comment: Usually people who buy x7510 , they already have or at least used before desktop, laptops, netbooks or macbook . Therefore pricing is subjective :- if you are so-so - it's expensive , if you are well to do - it's ok , if you are rich - you don't mind at all & if you are filthy rich - you wouldn't be looking at this page at all . Owners of x7510 also have a few handphones & iphone with them i believe. It's a niche product for a niche market if you dig it !
Heavy, impractical for all situations - this is not entirely fair & true at all . How can one manufacturer make a sub netbook smaller and lighter ? You need 5" screen for looking brilliant & nice , and you need to power this screen - how do you make a smaller & lighter battery with such technology now ? Maybe in the next few years but it's not fair to judge x7510 that way . You cannot have a foldable screen for it right ? When it is made big , you cant make it light ?
You still can make normal phone calls although not private . Place your ear near the speaker & place mouth not so near to mic , adjust volume of the set and talk . You look strange you say because normal phones are smaller in size - that's all . Use bluetooth or earplugs if you want private calls . It's not too bad i would think .
Keyboard needs flat surface - Yes if you want to type fast but you stilll can type on the go but with 2 hands holding keyboard & thumb typing it , it should be ok . And to see clearly you just tilt the x7510 angle a bit . It 's not a big deal .
Camera and poor video - maybe some got this problem , not all sets are like that .
Poor performance - you got to compare with wm pda phones and not to umpc or netbooks ( different category ) or normal handphones ( also different ) .
In my opinion it is the best pda phone available in the market with a typeable keyboard , Htc got a lot of improvements on the next replacement model but so far Htc have been doing a very good job since Dopod 900 days . You have got to give credit to them . If there is a 3g video call wm pda with keyboard set out there which is better , prove me wrong and i will salute you ( apple to apple comparison ). Cheers .
Thanks & regards ,

Good: variety of new and improved hardware features including 16GB of storage. magnetic QWERTY keyboard
